Has anyone tried the free PSN game Rocket League on PS4 this month?  Super fun and retarded.

That usually means it's a crowdfunded reboot these days...

Oh hell yeah!
I'm addicted to that POS!!! LOL!
I'm not any good at it but I just can't stop playing it. That and Driveclub! Batman and others are waiting on the sidelines... think I will "platinum" both of those and then continue on with my backlog.

Yupp!!  I'm addicted too.  Playing in a party with coordination makes it even better, although part of the game's draw is the chaos, especially 4v4.  The game reminds me of what Marv said about sword fighting: "The repertoire of moves is simple - which probably meant that mastery would be difficult."

For anyone else who's been playing the Telltale: Game of Thrones series...... :vomit: facepalm

This last episode has been some of the most poorly conceived and arbitrary writing I've ever had the displeasure of undergoing in a videogame. WTF. To be clear, I've already accepted that Telltale is only able to dangle the illusion of choice in front of you; that makes sense given the nature of how the game has to play out. But this same old, same old shockvalue, deus ex machina, random shit happening for the sake of being "emotionally engaging"......WTF. The pieces just don't fit in the puzzle.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised given that the same edgy "hey we killed the good guys" ploys have been overused by the HBO show. Just forget the gaping plot holes and nonsensical character motivation behind it all   p:8 GRRM should be pissed that dumbass writers have raped his IP and turned it into shit....but I don't think he gives a fuck anymore.
